Michael gets some credit

Seems the good folks at the Alabama Cooperative Extension System have seen fit to use one of my articles as a reference in a recent edition of their Metro News.  In the section called “Sensible Trivia for Affordable Urban Gardening”, Dr. Jannie Carter, Extension Assistant Director credits my article “Tomatoes bought my house: The unbelievable story of Radiator Charlie’s Mortgage Lifter tomato” over at Tomato Casual (www.tomatocasual.com).

I have to admit it is nice to get credit for my online writing!  All too often people have a false sense that anything they find on the Internet belongs to them and they have no need to give credit where credit is due.  While I am an avid gardener I make my money as a freelance writer and a large portion of that is done online.  When people steal the work of other writers like myself they devalue the hard work that we put into what we do.

Thank you to Dr. Carter for crediting my work in her great piece on urban gardening.  I encourage you all to check it out!
